I did a fun little thing on my project list yesterday.
One of my favorite sweaters had a hole in the sleeve
so I got out of some embroidery floss and made a daisy
chain of sorts that sealed up the hole and climbed up
to my shoulder. Very easy and fun...and my sweater
gets to live to see another day.

You are so clever..New life for your sweater and its looks like a million bucks!
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look too bad, does it? It's very free form. I purist would hate my stitches. haha.
DeleteQuite a stunning fix on your sweater! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you....it was really fun, too!
DeleteAren't you the clever one Betsy! Looks great!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I get to wear it again!
DeleteWho's a clever girl, then?
ReplyDeleteBrilliant soution and it looks so professional.
But on the men's clothes perhaps another subject other than a daisy may be more appropriate . . . . like a train . . :)
very true! :)
DeleteLooks great! I want someone to do a repair like that in my old wool swimsuit, there's a big hole in the elbow. . . .
ReplyDeleteWell, get out your needle and thread! And we want to see a picture when it's all repaired! :)
DeleteOn or off?
DeleteOh, please put it on! :)
DeleteVery creative!
ReplyDeleteThank you....glad I didn't have to throw it out. :)
DeleteWell now that;s the smartest idea!!
ReplyDeleteIt was easier than I thought, too!
DeleteVery cool Betsy!
ReplyDeleteI hate when favorite clothes wear out...or get stained....this is brilliant!
Enjoy your evening...
Cheers!
Linda :o)
What a great idea....covering a stain! I'll have to remember that! Every once in a while I ruin a shirt with a grease spatter.
DeleteThat turned out adorable. I want to buy it! You could start another business....Love the colors yu used.
ReplyDeleteI didn't have a choice with the colors...haha....I got that floss out of the auction trash long ago, so just used what I had. But it turned out fine...I wanted it to be soft.
DeletePerfect solution...
ReplyDeleteI love that sweet flower.
You are so talented dear lady.
Jo
It's kind of a daisy, kind of a sunflower. haha.
DeleteWell now, that is just too cute!
ReplyDeleteIt didn't turn out too bad! yay. haha.
DeleteWell done!
ReplyDeleteReally fun!
DeleteYou are brilliant! It looks so cute!
ReplyDeleteI can't remember where I saw the idea....maybe pinterest?
DeleteBrilliant!! Looks lovely. I must remember that. :)
ReplyDeleteOr a stain ....I might do that one next!

ReplyDeleteSave the sweaters! haha....

ReplyDeleterachel
Thanks, Rachel! :)
DeleteLook at you go
ReplyDeleteNo longer a holey show
But with all that yarn around
Were plenty of cats also found?
Had to work while the cats slept
Deleteand no one on my sweater crept!
My nicer clothes I don't let them touch
since they would be full of hair and such. lol...
My goodness, what a fabulous idea! It looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it was made this way. So pretty. You're a clever bunny.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering about the cats "helping," too!
What a clever and cute solution!
ReplyDeleteThis is an excellent idea.
ReplyDeletevery very clever and so darn cute!
